    'Indonesian factory workers producing clothes for the German sportswear giant Adidas are subject to forced overtime, physical abuse and poverty-line wages where workers are paid less than a dollar a day'


    of course refuted by Adidas spokespeople , but then you kind of expect that to be the case.

    so yeah ... great video I think from the comfort of my home furnished in IKEA (the new MFI) and watched on my lovely flatscreen TV whilst I live in the commuter belt of middle England within the confines of my gated community.

    More a 'PUMA suede' , 'old school VANS' & 'SIMPLE ecoSneaks' man myself than 'After Dinner I Did A S**t' - if were talking flat soled trainer's / sneaker's (american slang term).

    so no, not loving 'those ice white shelltoes'. *but saying that they look good on RUN DMC*

    Thought the ad when England scored was good too.

    Oh, I forgot, I don't have HD so I actually SAW the goal!

    Modern technology, eh? Pah!

    Is everyone with an iphone happy knowing that the fellow who made it has probably topped himself?

    Nike got hammered over that a few years ago with a boycott Nike campaign, sales dropped massively, then they initiated an ethical procurement policy and the campaign ended.

    Its a technically clever ad, but doesnt really make sense. lets cram a load of celebs into the cantina clip. Just a bit lazy really creatively ?

    It's kind of interesting but just seems a bit weird to me. I'm not really sure what they were thinking really.

    It's certainly not in the same league as the Nike advert, which is stunningly good (IMO).
